OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: If the throttle control lever
operates properly and the engine
does not start, a malfunctioning
monitor switch may be the prob-
lem. Take the snowmobile to an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer for service. If not under war-
ranty, this service is at the discre-
tion
and
expense
of
the
snowmobile owner
.
However, if a
dire emergency exists wherein the
engine must be started, discon-
nect the throttle monitor switch
located in the right-side handlebar
control.
NOTE: If disconnection of the
throttle monitor switch is needed
to start the engine, take the snow-
mobile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for service as
soon as possible. If not under war-
ranty, this service is at the discre-
tion
and
expense
of
the
snowmobile owner
.
NOTE: The monitor switch is
now bypassed. With exception of
the monitor switch and the emer-
gency stop switch, all other igni-
tion/electrical
features
(ignition
switch,
headlight,
taillight,
and
brakelight) will operate properly.
VARYING ALTITUDE
OPERATION
Operating a snowmobile at varying
altitudes requires changes in perfor-
mance components. These changes
affect drive train components.
The altitude information decal is
located beneath the hood of the snow-
mobile.
NOTE: Just as important as cali-
brating the snowmobile for higher
altitudes is recalibrating the snow-
mobile when going to lower alti-
tudes. Always consult the altitude
decal beneath the hood of the
snowmobile.
Crossfire models are initially set up at
the factory for operation between 0-
3000 feet.
M-Series models are initially set up at
the factory for operation between
6000-9000 feet.
NOTE: Drive train changes can
be made by the snowmobile owner
if qualified to do so. If the owner
does not feel qualified, take the
snowmobile to an authorized Arc-
tic Cat Snowmobile dealer for this
service. This service is at the dis-
cretion and expense of the snow-
mobile owner
.
! WARNING
Under no circumstances should
disconnection of the throttle con-
trol wiring harness be used as a
substitute for the monitor switch
during normal operation of the
snowmobile. Personal injury and
damage could occur if the throttle
system malfunctions or if the oper-
ator is unable to stop the engine in
an emergency. If the snowmobile
must be operated with a discon-
nected throttle control wiring har-
ness, EXTREME CAUTION MUST
BE TAKEN. NEVER EXCEED 10
MPH WITH THE THROTTLE CON-
TROL WIRING HARNESS DISCON-
NECTED.
